CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
Working safely and
comfortably
Before using your notebook, follow these general guidelines
for setting up a safe and comfortable work area and avoiding
discomfort and strain:
•Keep hands and arms parallel to the floor.
•Adjust the screen so it is perpendicular to your line of
sight.
•Place your feet flat on the floor or on a footrest.
•Although notebooks are sometimes called “laptops,” do
not use your notebook while it rests on your
unprotected lap. Notebook operating temperatures can
become quite high, increasing the risk of burns to your
legs. Instead, use a laptop desk to protect your legs.
•Do not use the notebook on any soft, conforming
surface, such as your lap, a blanket, carpet, or a sofa.
Soft surfaces can block your notebook’s ventilation
openings, leading to overheating, permanent damage
to your notebook, and fire danger. Instead, place your
notebook on a rigid, hard surface, and make sure that
you keep the ventilation openings on the sides clear.
War ning
Do not use your notebook on a soft surface, such as your lap,
a blanket, carpet, or a sofa. You must keep your notebook’s ventilation
openings clear of obstructions, or your notebook may overheat,
increasing the risk of fire and personal injury.
Reducing eye strain
Sunlight or bright indoor lighting should not reflect on the
screen or shine directly into your eyes.
•Position the computer desk and screen so you can avoid
glare on your screen and light shining directly into your
eyes. Reduce glare by installing shades or curtains on
windows, and by installing a glare screen filter.
•Use soft, indirect lighting in your work area. Do not use
your notebook in a dark room.
•Avoid focusing your eyes on your screen for long
periods of time. Every 10 or 15 minutes, look around
the room, and try to focus on distant objects.
•Where feasible, keep your head vertical while looking
at the screen. If you use an external keyboard, raise the
notebook so the top of its screen is no higher than eye
level.
14
www.gateway.com
Setting up your computer desk and chair
When you are setting up your computer desk and chair, make
sure that the desk is the appropriate height and the chair helps
you maintain good posture.
•Select a flat surface for your computer desk.
•Adjust the height of the computer desk so your hands
and arms are positioned parallel to the floor when you
use the keyboard and touchpad. If the desk is not
adjustable or is too tall, consider using an adjustable
chair to control your arm’s height above the keyboard.
•Use an adjustable chair that is comfortable, distributes
your weight evenly, and keeps your body relaxed.
•Position your chair so the keyboard is at or slightly
below the level of your elbow. This position lets your
shoulders relax while you type.
•Adjust the chair height, adjust the forward tilt of the
seat, or use a footrest to distribute your weight evenly
on the chair and relieve pressure on the back of your
thighs.
•Adjust the back of the chair so it supports the lower
curve of your spine. You can use a pillow or cushion to
provide extra back support.
Sitting at your notebook
•Avoid bending, arching, or angling your wrists. Make
sure that they are in a relaxed position when you type.
•Do not slouch forward or lean far back. Sit with your
back straight so your knees, hips, and elbows form right
angles when you work.
•Take breaks to stand and stretch your legs.
•Avoid twisting your torso or neck.
Avoiding discomfort and injury from repetitive
strain
•Vary your activities to avoid excessive repetition.
•Take breaks to change your position, stretch your
muscles, and relieve your eyes.
•Find ways to break up the work day, and schedule a
variety of tasks.
15
CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
Connecting the AC adapter
You can run your notebook using an AC adapter or your
notebook’s main and optional secondary batteries. The
battery(ies) were shipped to you partially charged. You should
use the AC adapter right away to fully charge the battery(ies).
Allow three hours for the battery(ies) to fully charge.
War ning
Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adapter. The AC adapter has no
user-replaceable or user-serviceable parts inside. The AC adapter has dangerous
voltages that can cause serious injury or death. Contact Gateway about
returning defective AC adapters.
Caution
Make sure that you use the AC adapter that came with your notebook
or one of the same type purchased from Gateway. Replace the power cord if
it becomes damaged. The replacement cord must be of the same type and
voltage rating as the original cord or your notebook may be damaged.
Important
If the main and optional secondary batteries are not fully charged before
you use your notebook on battery power for the first time, the battery life may
be much shorter than you expect. If the battery life seems short even after being
charged for three hours, the battery(ies) may need to be recalibrated. For
information on recalibrating the battery(ies), see “Recalibrating the battery(ies)”
on page 61.
16
To connect the AC adapter:
1Connect the power cord to the AC adapter.
www.gateway.com
2Connect the AC adapter to your notebook’s power
connector.
3Plug the power cord into a wall outlet. The battery
charge indicator turns on (see “Front” on page 6 for the
location of the battery charge indicator). If the battery
charge indicator does not turn on, complete the
following steps until it turns on:
aUnplug the adapter from your notebook, then plug
it back in.
bPress FN+F1 to toggle the status lights on and off.
cMake sure the power cord is firmly attached to the
AC adapter.
dPlug the power cord into a different wall outlet.
4When you finish using your notebook for the first time,
turn off your notebook and leave your notebook
connected to AC power until the battery charge
indicator turns blue.
Important
If the battery charge indicator does not turn blue after three
hours, contact Gateway Customer Care at the location shown on the
Customer Care label. For more information, see “Gateway contact
information” on page 3.
17
CHAPTER 3: Setting Up and Getting Started
Protecting from power source problems
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming
into your notebook can increase to levels far above normal
levels and cause data loss or system damage. Protect your
notebook and peripheral devices by connecting them to a
surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and prevents
them from reaching your notebook.
War ning
High voltages can enter your notebook through both the power cord and
the modem connection. To protect your notebook and avoid electrical shock,
use a surge protector. If you have a telephone modem, use a surge protector
that has a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a surge protector that
has an antenna/cable TV jack. During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge
protector and the modem.
18
www.gateway.com
Connecting the dial-up modem
Your notebook has a built-in 56K modem that you can use to
connect to a standard telephone line.
War ning

CHAPTER 5: Managing Power
Extending battery life
Maximizing battery performance
To get maximum performance from your notebook
battery(ies), we recommend that you initially condition (fully
charge and discharge) your new battery(ies) a few times
during the first several weeks of use, to let them reach their
maximum rated capacity.
Over the long term, use the battery(ies) at least once a month,
even if they were kept in a cool, dry place for storage, but
avoid frequent full discharges because this puts additional
strain on the battery(ies). Several partial discharges with
frequent recharges are better for a lithium-ion battery than
one complete discharge, and recharging a partially charged
lithium-ion battery does not cause harm because there is no
memory.
Conserving battery power
To conserve power while using the battery(ies) to power your
notebook:
•Turn off wireless networking and Bluetooth.
•Dim the display as low as is comfortable.
•Disconnect all external devices, like IEEE 1394 and USB
devices.
•Remove PC Cards when you do not need them. Many
PC Cards use a small amount of power while inserted,
even if they are not being used.
•Close the LCD panel to turn off the display while you
are not using your notebook. The display stays off until
you open the panel again.
•Use Hibernate mode for maximum power savings while
your notebook is not in use.
62
Tip
For more information about using Hibernate mode, see
“Traveling with Your Notebook” on page 71.

the battery(ies) for times when you cannot use a power
adapter. If you plan on taking your AC power adapter,
also take a single-plug surge protector.
•If you will have access to an EmPower™ in-flight power
receptacle, an automobile power outlet, or an
automobile cigarette lighter, use an airplane/
automobile power adapter or power inverter. Save the
battery(ies) for times when you cannot use a power
adapter.
•To find AC power outlets in airports, look for them next
to support pillars, in large areas such as boarding gates,
and under banks of telephones.
Changing power modes
You can use the following power modes to lengthen the life
of your notebook’s battery(ies):
•Standby - while your notebook is in Standby mode, it
switches to a low power state where devices, such as
the display and drives, turn off.

CHAPTER 5: Managing Power
•Hibernate - (also called save to disk) writes all current
memory (RAM) information to the hard drive, then turns
your notebook completely off. The next time you turn
on your notebook, it reads the memory information
from the hard drive and opens the programs and
documents that were open when you activated
Hibernate mode.
Using power saving modes
Always save your work before using Standby mode. In
Standby mode, your notebook reduces or turns off the power
to most devices except memory. However, the information in
memory is not saved to the hard drive. If power is interrupted,
the information is lost.
When in Hibernate mode, your notebook saves all memory
information to the hard drive, then turns the power

CHAPTER 7: Maintaining Your Notebook
Caring for your notebook
To extend the life of your notebook:
•Be careful not to bump or drop your notebook, and do
not put any objects on top of it. The case, although
strong, is not made to support extra weight.
•When transporting your notebook, we recommend that
you put it in a carrying case.
•Keep your notebook away from magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields can erase data on hard drives.
•Never turn off your notebook when the drive indicator
is on because data on the hard drive could be lost or
corrupted.
•Avoid subjecting your notebook to extreme
temperature changes. The case (and LCD panel) can
become brittle and easy to break in cold temperatures
and can melt or warp in high temperatures. Damage
due to either extreme is not covered by your warranty.
As a general rule, your notebook is safest at
temperatures that are comfortable for you.
•Keep all liquids away from your notebook. When spilled
onto notebook components, almost any liquid can result
in expensive repairs that are not covered under a
standard warranty.
•Avoid dusty or dirty work environments. Dust and dirt
can clog the internal mechanisms and can lead to
permanent damage to the notebook.
•Do not block the ventilation fan slots. If these slots are
blocked, your notebook may overheat resulting in
unexpected shutdown or permanent damage to the
notebook.
•When storing your notebook for an extended period of
time, unplug AC power and remove the battery(ies)
after discharging them partway.

Cleaning your notebook
Keeping your notebook clean and the vents free from dust
helps keep your notebook performing at its best. You may
want to gather these items and put together a notebook
cleaning kit:
•A soft, lint-free cloth
•An aerosol can of air that has a narrow, straw-like
extension
•Cotton swabs
•A DVD drive cleaning kit
Cleaning the exterior
War ning
When you shut down your notebook, the power turns off, but some
electrical current still flows through your notebook. To avoid possible injury from
electrical shock, unplug the power cord, modem cable, and network cable from
the wall outlets and remove the main and optional secondary battery.
Always turn off your notebook and other peripherals before
cleaning any components. Also, remove the main and optional
secondary battery before cleaning any components.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your notebook and other
parts of your system. Do not use household abrasive or
solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on
components.
Your notebook is cooled by air circulated through the vents
on the case, so keep the vents free of dust. With your
notebook turned off and unplugged, brush the dust away
from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful not to drip any
water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the
inside of your notebook with the exception of the memory
bay.
Tip
You may want to occasionally open the memory bay door and remove
dust and lint using an aerosol can of air.
Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally by using an
aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension to
remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.
79
CHAPTER 7: Maintaining Your Notebook
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your notebook and
turn the notebook upside down. Let the liquid drain, then let
the keyboard dry before trying to use it again. If the keyboard
does not work after it dries, you may need to replace it. A
replacement keyboard may not be covered by your warranty.
Cleaning the notebook screen
Caution
A notebook LCD screen is made of specially coated glass and can be
scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based glass cleaners.
Use a soft cloth and water to clean the LCD screen. Squirt a
little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and
wipe the screen with the cloth.
Maintaining the battery(ies)
The life span of a notebook battery is about 1.5 to 3 years,
under normal conditions. As the battery begins to die, you will
have to recharge the battery more frequently because it
cannot hold a full charge.
Do not expose the battery to high heat or freezing
temperatures. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold
ones cannot create as much power. Short battery life is more
likely to be caused by heat than by charge/discharge patterns.
Keep your lithium-ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car, for
example.
Charge often, but do not try to fully discharge the battery
frequently. This only adds strain. Several partial discharges
(regular use), with frequent recharges, are better for
lithium-ion than one total discharge. Recharging a partially
charged lithium-ion battery does not cause any harm because
it has no “memory.”
Batteries with fuel gauges (notebooks) should be calibrated by
applying a deliberate full discharge once every 30 charges.
Running the battery down in the equipment does this. If
ignored, the fuel gauge becomes increasingly less accurate
and in some cases will cut off the device prematurely.
Using the right charger is important. By now you probably
know that each kind of battery has its own technology, its own
rate of charge, and so on. Charging lithium batteries correctly
is one way to extend their life and to avoid damage.
80
Storing batteries
Do not charge up the battery, then store it away. A stored
battery should be used every three to four weeks. Let the
battery fully discharge, then recharge to 40% if you plan to
store it again. If you store a battery for longer than three to
four weeks, the battery could fully discharge because the
battery circuitry itself consumes power.
If you have a spare lithium-ion battery, use one exclusively
and keep the other cool by placing it in the refrigerator. Make
sure that it is wrapped protectively and that nothing will be
dropped on it. Do not freeze the battery.
Do not use old batteries. Avoid purchasing spare lithium-ion
batteries and storing them for later use. Do not buy old stock,
even if it is sold at clearance prices. While it makes sense to
have 2 or 3 extra batteries, so that you always have a fresh
one charged up and ready to go, if you buy batteries and store
them for years, they may not work when you decide to use
them.
Consider removing the battery from your notebook when
running on fixed power. However, remember that when you
have removed the battery from your notebook while using it
with an electrical outlet, the automatic battery charger no
longer keeps the battery charged.
Caution
When the battery is in the notebook and the notebook is running on AC
power, the battery constantly charges, even though it has a full charge. This
reduces the life of the battery. If the battery is fully charged and you want to
run on AC power, remove the battery.

Wipe from the center to the edge, not around in a circle, using
a product made especially for the purpose.

War ning
To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving parts,
turn off your notebook, unplug the power cord, modem cable, and network
cable, and remove the main and optional secondary batteries before opening
the case.
War ning
To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object into the vent
holes of the notebook.
Important
Before installing or replacing components, you should read and
understand the information in this section.
The components inside your notebook are extremely sensitive
to static electricity, also known as electrostatic discharge
(ESD).
Before installing or replacing components, follow these
guidelines:
•Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors,
plastic, and packing foam.
•Remove components from their antistatic bags only
when you are ready to use them. Do not lay
components on the outside of antistatic bags because
only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic
protection.
•Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching
the edge connectors. Never slide components over any
surface.
•Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most
electronics stores) and attach it to a bare metal part of
your workbench or other grounded connection.
•Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other
grounded object.
